Q01

Come on up!

HAL is dead.

That HAL who almost never leaves Kurumi had died.

Kurumi can't laugh.

Can't sleep.

Won't listen.

Won't eat.

Can't cry.

Q01

Help us save that child.

If it's you, you can become him.

Become him and save that child.

I've became human.

Sorry I'm late, Q01.

Doctor, I'm HAL from today on.

That's right.

So how does it feel like being human?

Feel? What's that?

To be able to feel.

What I've said is nothing.

Come on. It's time to go!

That's really nostalgic.

When I was a student, there was a rumor that it grants a wish once you've solved it.

The girls were really into it.

Was it the same at your time?

Oh, I forgot.

You wouldn't know what happened to HAL in the past.

It's so hot.

Sorry.

I've to show my face at the old lady's place just ahead.

Can you go by yourself?

Almost forgot.

Here.

Kurumi and last?

HAL wrote that.

Living together with Kurumi

Living together with Kurumi.

This is the final wish left by HAL.

I've become human.

Over here! Over here!

That's dangerous!

I've become human.

For the sake of getting Kurumi to feel what it's like to live again.

I came to this town

as HAL.

Excuse me!

Are you Kurumi-san?

You must be Kurumi-san.

Who are you?

The care center sent me.

You should have heard about it.

I don't recall requesting them to send over

a robot that looks exactly like HAL.

I'm here to help you, Kurumi-san.

I understand.

I'll leave.

Kurumi-san.

Could you please sign this if you want me to leave.

Living together with Kurumi-san.

Kurumi-san's...

Rubik's cube?

I solved it!

I managed to solve it, Kurumi-san.

Your wish will-

Cooking with HAL.

Leave.

I got it.

Kurumi-san.

The meal is ready.

This is my first time cooking.

Though it seems like I've failed.

I'll leave the meal here.

Be sure to finish them.

I'll be coming again tomorrow.

See you.

Good morning!

Kurumi-san.

Do you have anything you desire?

I'm going out shopping.

Thank you for waiting.

Here you go.

I solved it!

Look.

I want a pet giraffe

28,000,000 yen.

Why?

Over here!

Follow us!

Hurry!

I found it!

Look!

0 yen?

So you just took the giraffe with you?

Yeah. The shopkeeper lashed at me after that.

Of course he would.

But it was 0 yen.

It could be 0 yen

but that doesn't mean you can take it for yourself.

It also implies that it's priceless.

Lift this for me.

Priceless?

It means an item is so precious that it can't be measured with a price.

So 0 yen means something precious?

If you want the giraffe at Kirin Hall

can't you just ask from Sadao?

He's that old geezer seated in front of the shop.

You've met him, right?

You want that giraffe..

That thing is nothing special.

His daughter-in-laws are always cursing that they couldn't stand him.

The only good thing is he works really hard by himself.

This old man is such a mule.

How about talking to Tsukiko-san?

Yeah. Tsukiko-san.

Tsukiko-san! Could you talk to Sadao.

Tsukiko-san!

No.

Why?

This Onii-chan here really wants it.

Why should I help a bean sprout like him who doesn't now his limits?

Besides, didn't anyone tell you that taking things that isn't yours makes you a thief?

I absolutely hate wishy-washy guys like you.

What's a grown man wearing a brooch?

Say... what's the button?

I just thought this button looks adorable.

This morning I-

You know Kurumi-san?

Yeah.

Why didn't you say so?

Tsukiko-san, It's still not done yet.

Shut up, you quack!

Baldhead!

She in Kurimi-san's debt.

She had a huge quarrel with her family when she first moved here.

All of Tsukiko-san's clothes she painstakingly collected was thrown away.

All right now, get Sadao over here.

Isn't it terrible?

But Kurumi-san ran all over town and managed to gather them back.

She even arranged them neatly

and distributed to everyone.

Kurumi-san did that...

That button was originally from Tsukiko-san's two-piece dress.

I think it was what she wore for her first date.

With Sadao.

Stop uttering rubbish.

You can bring that giraffe back.

I've informed the shop.

Thank you so much.

In exchange, I'll return this button-

Just leave it as it is.

Don't meddle with it.

So long as I can still recall many of my old memories in this world.

It's more than enough for me.

0 yen... is something precious.

Stop filming!

Thanks so much, Grandpa!

What's that?

I made these dolls from the yarn the bamboo granny gave me.

Look.

It doesn't taste too bad.

Thank you, HAL.

Here's magic.

Who told you to sell them!

Wait for me, HAL!

Why do you have to run?

It might be taken by someone else.

Nobody wants that sort of thing.

Doctor.

Do you think I can understand 100% Kurumi-san's sadness?

I'm afraid not.

Because I'm a robot?

It's the same even for a human.

The joys and sadness others.

I think it's really difficult to empathize.

It's nothing wrong not being able to understand.

I can't care for her if I don't understand.

What should I do?

You don't need to do anything.

Just look after her.

I only have to do that?

Yeah.

That's enough.

To creatures like humans.

This much is more than enough.

Giraffe!

Mr. Giraffe!

Mommy!

That's Mr. Giraffe!

Be good. Sachiko-chan is waiting for us, OK?

But it's Mr. Giraffe!

Well, that's how I feel about it.

Don't daze off. We are barely there.

Let's carry it.
